Average rating:  |
| Canine charm |
| An absolute gem of a book, packed with charm and thought-provoking ideas. Would make a wonderful gift for any dog-lover. |
| A Must-Read |
| For anyone who has a dog or is thinking of adopting one, this is absolutely a must-read; but I'd recommend this book to anyone, animal-lover or not. It is a quick and easy read - I devoured it in a couple of days. It is beautifully written, blending real-life stories and personal accounts with psychological and behavioral theory. This book will evoke emotion in even the most cynical reader, but not through sentimental manipulation. In fact, the beauty of the writing is that it does not weave sappy tales, but simply presents its human- and dog-subjects in a very real and honest way. I appreciate the author's journalistic style and reservation of judgement. This is the first work by Jon Katz that I have read, but it will now not be the last. |
| Awesome book......a must read for dog lovers |
| To be honest, I was about to give this book one star when I first got it. I knew it had stories, but I expected at least a few pictures of some of the dogs and owners in the book. I was surprised at no pictures. However, this is explained in the introduction to the book, and what an introduction it was. If you only read the introduction, this book is worth every penny. However, as you read on beyond that, this book only gets better page by page. |
